  • The Steel Avenger (sometimes written as Steel Avenger) was a heavyweight robot, driven by Team Steel Avenger, formerly known as The Pneumatic Fanatics. The team competed in Series 3, 4, 5 and 7 of Robot Wars, also entering in both series of Extreme. The team did not enter Series 6, having been exhausted after all the repairs they had to do after Series 5 and Extreme 1. "I became gradually more hooked on the programme as I watched series 1 and then series 2. I was lying in bed in January '99 with Flu and doodling with a few ideas for a robot and suddenly decided 'What the heck - let's go for it'. All my life I have been building mechanical and electronic things, and this seemed like something which would be right up my street and would bring together all the various skills and interests which I love. I sent off my Robot Wars Club membership application and the ball was now rolling." — John Willoughby on joining Robot Wars The team often sported shiny metal breastplates, which garnered them the untelevised "Best Costume" award in Extreme 1. The Steel Avenger never made it past a Heat Final, but finished as runners up in the Extreme 1 Tag Team Terror and reached Heat Finals in Series 4 and 7. It also won the award for Best Engineered robot in Series 4.
